The Staff Team must be strict with lore to maintain a coherent world and prevent others from damaging immersion. This strictness is by design and will not be changed. To accept lore for reasons other than validity of content would be a disservice to the community.
The complaint of rudeness is valid, however the Staff Team very much needs to be shown specific examples of this when it happens, as it is difficult to fix a problem you do not know you have. At this point in time the Staff Team will simply have to assume that something offensive has been said and endeavor to be on watchful guard in the future, but with specific examples the Staff Team will be able to work precisely towards the issue and not overlook any points.
There are frequent bans, yet it is difficult to see any that are for silly reasons in the recent banlist. After closer inspection of this complaint we can only assume the intended message was "Banned players are not given enough warnings prior their ban". This issue has been realized and we will work to fix this. True playing with bans that would result in 'silly bans' often are not recognized as a proper ban, due to these people being swiftly unbanned.
Generally is a vast term, however, we believe this is not a very common occurrence, incidents like this should be only a few per staff member. Once the incident is reported, the staff member is informed of their mistake and can continue on with their work, any consistent and repetitive behavior like this would result in a demotion.
Another point of note is that it entirely depends on the conversation topic, and the knowledge of both parties. Staff members are either picked for their knowledge or learn about it while doing their jobs on the server, so they might know more about a subject than others and appear to be showing that knowledge off or ignore what others say. If this is a problem we would prefer the issue to be reported as it happens so the staff member can improve their method of posting, to prevent offending or upsetting people in the future.
We are aware of a recent subject that appeared to take this turn in the discussion. We do not want to give the impression of ganging up on people, but we also do not want to restrict the opinions of all the staff, they are not all one mind and should not have to act as such. However, due to this complaint we have compiled a few ideas to prevent threads from being 'ganged up' on from staff.
I do appreciate this complaint, for the point of getting to clarify this detail.
The Management is a team. They work together to support this server and each other through every job, each management member has their own section to take care of and these particular pair happen to have the two 'loudest' jobs of the server.
But please, this does not mean that any one of the management are in charge of the entire server, they all do their even share of work to provide quality lore, events, plugins and website, along with a lag-free server.
Like many things in the world, movies, games, television series, spoilers are not appreciated among those trying to enjoy the story. Under the lore, spoilers would result in very boring campaigns if everyone knew the outcome and every step of the enemy or allies. We encourage teamwork and exciting roleplay by keeping these things private, so players are able to discover things others have not, or have changes happen to their characters that others would not know about.
As for out of character decisions.. they are decided promptly amongst the management team, allowing for more opinions would run in circles with debates and discussions. Within the interest of productivity, consistency and efficiency, keeping discussions within management is the most preferred method.
